Safety Instructions
It is crucial to follow safety instructions to prevent injuries or damage to the amplifier:

• Installation by a qualified professional is recommended.
• Use rubber O-rings when passing cables through metallic walls.
• Always unplug the negative terminal of the battery before installing electric equipment.
• Avoid continuous exposure to sound pressures over 85dB.
• Ensure the installation location does not affect vehicle operation.
• Avoid installation in places exposed to water, dirt, or humidity.
• Choose a ventilated place for installation and avoid blocking ventilation windows.
• Clean the amplifier periodically with a brush or dry cloth for thermal efficiency.
• Avoid making holes in critical vehicle components during installation.
• Properly secure cables throughout the installation.
• Fix the amplifier securely without grounding to metallic parts of the vehicle.
• Wear appropriate safety gear during installation.

To avoid injury to the user or damage to the amplifier, read all safety instructions written on this manual.

Warning!
THIS “WARNING” SIGN ALERTS THE USER OF IMPORTANT INFO. NOT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE INJURIES TO THE USER OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

**Assembling and Disassembling Plastic Cover

**

The plastic covers are used to finish off and hide the amplifier’s fixing screws. To disassemble and assemble them, follow the instructions below.

To disassemble the plastic cover:

1. Carefully pull out the top of the plastic cover to release the upside latches.
2. Slide up the plastic cover in a continuous movement to remove it.

Merely illustrative images.

ASSEMBLING THE PLASTIC COVER

1. To fit the plastic cover back, carefully insert the point A of the plastic cover into point B of the amplifier, slowly sliding it down.
2. Gently press the sides of the top of the plastic cover towards the bottom of the amplifier until you hear a clicking noise.

Merely illustrative images.

INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, UNPLUG THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL FROM ALL OF THE BATTERIES, TO AVOID FIRE, DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER AND THE USER HIMSELF.

Warning!

• Mount the amplifier in such a way you have access to the connectors;
• Install the power cables in the vehicle properly, starting from the battery to the fuse holder or circuit breaker, use the cable with the appropriate size. Make all connections, install fuse holders or circuit breakers, but without placing the fuses or with the circuit breakers in the “OFF” position;

THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER IS 12 INCHES (30cm) AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.

Warning

• Connect the power cables in to the amplifier, observing the polarity. Connect all the positive cables from the fuse holder or circuit breaker to the positive conector (+) of the amplifier and all the negative power cables from the batteries to the negative connector of the amplifier;
• The ground cable must be as short as possible and must be connected to the vehicle chassis and the battery negative;
• Install the signal input cables in a proper way, distant from the power cables;
• Connect the RCA or the high level signal input cables to the head unit and amplifiers;
• Install the audio output cables with the appropriate section, distant from the power and audio input cables;
• Connect the audio output cables to the amplifier and speakers respecting the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities;
• Install the remote cable with the power cables, using 1.5mm² (15 AWG) cable or thicker;
• Connect the remote power cable to the amplifier’s “REM” terminal at the main unit’s remote power output (when not using the high level signal inputs);
• Before powering the system, verify all the connections and make sure there are no mistakes or short-circuits on the power and ground cables;
• Reconnect the ground of the batteries;
• Check if the head unit is turned off and then place the fuses in the fuse holders or switch the circuit breakers on;
• Turn on the main unit and the amplifier will turn on the “POWER ON” LED indicating that it is in operation.

Warning!
Minimum recommended installation distance between amplifiers*. 1.18in (30mm)

*For installations with more than one amplifier, second unit not included. Merely illustrative images.

ELECTRICAL DIMENSIONING AND AUDIO INPUTS

ELECTRICAL DIMENSIONING
For proper operation of your SounDigital amplifier, you need the proper dimensioning of the electrical system and the cables used. The table below shows the minimum section of GND cables, +12VDC cables and speaker output cables according to the power generated by the amplifier.

We recommend the use of only OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) cables on the installation of our products. Copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) must not be used.

AUDIO CONNECTORS

RCA input and output
Example of one RCA cable connection only.

Example of two RCA cables connection (mono input).

Example of one RCA cable connection only and using the RCA output to connect another amplifier.

SD RLC / GAIN SETTING

*EXTERNAL LEVEL CONTROL – SD RLC (Not included)
** The SD RLC is an easy-to-install external level control accessory that allows you to tune the level of SOUNDIGITAL amplifiers that have remote level control. In SD RLC, you can adjust the amplifier level without having to lean over and adjust the gain setting on the amplifier and can monitor the “CLIP” LED which is also available on the accessory.

GAIN SETTING

Necessary equipament:

• Digital AC voltmeter;
• Media with sine wave test tone 60Hz recorded at 0db;
• Screwdriver 1/8″ ( for gain setting).

Set up procedure:
Turn the gain Ø control all the way down;

• Disconnect the output cables from the amplifier outputs;
• Turn off all processing (bass, treble, loudness, EQ, etc.);
• Set the audio player volume to 3/4 of full volume;
• Set the audio player fader control to center position (left and right fader controls);
• Set the variable “LOW” crossover in 20kHz and the “HIGH” in 5Hz;
• Use a 60 Hz sine wave;
• Increase the gain control until the “CLIP” LED starts blinking;
• Return the gain to the limit where the “CLIP” LED stops blinking and remains off;
• Once you have adjusted the amplifier to the correct voltage output, turn off the source unit and reconnect the speaker(s).

BASS BOOST AND CROSSOVER SET UP

Using Bass Boost
The Amplifier Bass Boost setting enables the user to boost the sound intensity at low frequencies of the sound system, where boost intensity can be adjusted. This is a semi-parametric equalizer type circuit with ”Q” value for the fixed filter, with an intensity boost adjustment from 0 to +12dB (16 times), and a central frequency adjustment of the filter in 50Hz, making it versatile for several types of sound systems.

How to adjust Bass Boost
Reproduce your favorite song and set the boost intensity between 0dB and +12dB at the variable control level according your preference.

How to adjust the Crossovers
The use of the two associated filters can form a bandpass filter, as in the figure below, where the point “A” is defined in the “HIGH” crossover and the point”B” is defined in the “LOW” crossover.

To set the “HIGH” variable control between 5Hz and 80Hz (“A”) where you want to perform the high pass cut filter;

Set in the “LOW” variable control between 50Hz and 20kHz (“B”) where you want to perform the low pass cut filter.

WIRING DIAGRAM

BATTERY CONNECTION DIAGRAM
When necessary the association of one or more battery banks to supply the necessary current to the amplifier, it is recommended to use batteries of the same brand, model, and if possible the same manufacturing lot so that the system has the maximum performance.

For an ideal energy performance, we recommend that all batteries be connected to positive and negative busbars and the busbars connected to the amplifier, as shown in the diagram below:

TECHNICAL SPECS

• It is mandatory to install the fuse at a maximum distance of 12 inches from the battery.
• Power at 12.6V @ 60Hz with a maximum THD of 1%.

POWER RATING ACCORDING TO CTA-2006 INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
